Did anybody think the outcome would be anything different?

The best outcome for the club would be to lose in the semi final at home to, say, Bulls or Fev.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, but I would love to see a Batley team play at Wembley, that for me would be the best outcome - just as long as I could buy a ticket normally and not electronically!

[ernieone]

The best outcome would be to get to Wembley and win the trophy, cannot be any more expensive than last season's trip to Toronto for a run of the mill league match. It would be a fine occasion, especially if more joined the pink walk pre match.

Got a sponsor now, think it's Derek Beaumont's  decking business. (best to avoid Leigh ).

Poses a potential dilemma for the cricket fans amongst us, as it's the same weekend as the 3rd Ashes test at Headingley

True, but would only be one day, there will always be another ashes test day! 

p.s. Would you like to speak to my wife about the virtues of sport?

Could be an issue for Mr Mrs Virr. Mr V might be scoring in that one. Whoops.

I think that you should order a bus, just in case.

 

From the LNER Web Site:

Lucky you, or rather well organised you!

I have reassessed my view on you talking to my wife. I rather enjoy my afternoons at the Mount or my days sat watching cricket! But thanks for the offer anyway!

Oh I think so!! I used to feel guilty for years leaving every Sunday to spend it surrounded by the intelligensia at the Mount, until she revealed she quite liked me going as she got control of the tv and the house seemed so much larger!

There’s 5 days of test match , one day at Wembley , we haven’t played at Wembley in 139 years of existence

I know that, but Ashes tickets are like gold dust and I've got tickets for the Saturday. It's the third test, hopefully the one where we smash the Aussies to lift the little urn. Total dilemma if it comes to it, but it would be very hard to turn down Wembley. 

[distantdog]

This all might be moot by the way.

I know the 1895 game is after the main event.But how much time will elapse between the two games?

This could determine how many stay on for the second game.

5.30 kick off i’d say 45 minutes between games at tops 

I doubt many will stay due to transport
